Figure 7.5: Strain relief loop at the CLS port entry.
Figure 7.6: Examples where the lead has been bent at the port of entry of the CLS header.
Take care to avoid this when creating the strain relief loop.
Anchor the CLS, close and dress the incisions
1.
Insert the CLS into the pocket with the looped lead under the CLS.
2.
Ensure that the writing on the CLS is facing up towards the skin so that charging will
be possible.
3.
Ensure that the CLS is between 0.5 cm to 2.0 cm (0.2 in and 0.8 in) under the skin so
that charging will be possible.
4.
Ensure that the CLS lays parallel to the skin surface so that charging is not
compromised.
5.
Secure the CLS to the subcutaneous fascia with sutures through the holes in the
header of the CL.
6.
Close and dress the incisions taking care that the leads are not damaged in the
closing process.
